Converting mp4 to dvd

I have a MacBook Air. I have recently converted many old vhsc tapes to mp4 using Elgato video capture. I want to burn some of these to DVD. I know I need a external burner. Was going to buy that from Apple today. Im lookingb for a program to do this so these dvd can be played in any player. Suggestions?

For that you need iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

  • What program can I use in CC to convert MP4 to DVD?

    CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help
    The bottom section of the tutorial link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

  • How to convert MP4 to DVD

    I have movies in MP4 format.  How do I convert them to DVD to play on regular DVD players?

    You need to use a dedicated video DVD creation application such as iDVD.

  • Does Quicktime Pro convert mp4 to DVD ISO?

    I already have MP4s, I want them to play on my DVD player.

    QuickTime itself will not convert MP4s to a form that can be played by standard DVD players. However there are various programs for the Mac that can do this for you and some of them are free.
    If you have an older boxed copy of Apple's iLife software it might have iDVD included which can do this, if you have Roxio Toast it can do this (but otherwise you have to buy it), I believe the free 'Burn' application can also do this - see http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html and there will also be others.

  • Convert mp4 to DVD for TV?

    I apologise if this is the wrong forum area for this question but I couldn't figure out where else to place it...
    I have an .mp4 file that someone gave me and I want to play it through a TV. Can it be converted so that it'll write onto a DVD? Or a VCD? Or something else that'll play through a TV set with a DVD player? (Actually, I'm not even sure if a DVD player can play a VCD, come to think of it.)
    Many thanks in advance for any help/advice.

    Use Moviegate.
    IMHO, much easier to get movies, clips, etc onto a DVD

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • Does QuickTime Pro convert an ISO DVD movie to an mp4?

    I'm thinking about purchasing the Pro version of QuickTime; but what I REALLY want to do is convert some ISO DVD Image files to the QuickTime mp4 format so I can put it on my iPod or view it with my AppleTV.
    Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
    Thanks,

    Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
    QT does not support "muxed" MPEG2/PCM or MPEG2/AC3 au either purchase the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) and download the free MPEG Streamclip app or use the free HandBrake app to convert your DVD imaged content MP4/M4V content for playback on mobile devices.

  • I need an app for my Mac Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player

    I need an app for my Mac Book Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player.  Thanks

    Quicktime can do this.
    Open the MP4 in Quicktime Player. From the menu bar, File >Export > select quality. The subsequent file will be saved as .mov
    Alternatively, you can simply change the extension on the mp4 file to mov since the codec is the same.
    *I should mention that .mov format is not DVD format (TS_VIDEO), and the DVD will not play in a DVD player, even if you successfully burn the file to it.

  • How do you convert PC-ripped DVDs using a Mac?

    Got a question about converting/burning video DVDs from PC to Mac.
    So I acquired a rip of a Video DVD, which seems to be PC-made, as the original rip was made up of numerous RAR files (pls-amipys.r00, pls-amipys.r01, etc).
    I used a program (UnRarX I think) to convert these to a standard .iso disc, with a VIDEO_TS folder that seemed to play just fine using DVD Player program. I then tried burning that folder to a playable DVD (using the Freeware program Liquid CD; Toast seems to be freezing up on me/not doing so for some reason...).
    However, when I tried playing the burned disc in my DVD player, every chapter was jumping/skipping, like someone was using the DVD as a **** turntable (please, no hip-hop references...).
    Anyway I've never had this problem with any other .isos/VIDEO_TS folders I've tried burning to DVD, so I know it's got to be an issue with my having had to convert it.
    Any (serious) explanations for why this may be?? Any suggestions for any other programs I can use to convert/burn the original rip so it'll play properly?
    Thank you!!

  • How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

    How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
    Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

    Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
    I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
    Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
    All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
    If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

  • How to convert video and dvd for iPod

    1. Download, install and run PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter. It can convert from DVD, Tivo, DivX, MPEG, WMV, AVI, RealMedia and many more to iPod Video.
    (PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Download)
    2. Click "Open ..." button and choose a video file or DVD disc to open. Wait for the movie to start playing in the preview window.
    3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture. Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or subtitles).
    You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output size of the movie.
    In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will look like.
    When you have set the desired settings simple click on the "Record it" button to convert the video/DVD.
    Depending on the settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 15 minutes.
    4. When the process finishes you can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime to see if it works well.
    Then launch iTunes, add the recorded file into the library and update iPod (under iTunes' File menu). And have a nice time!
    Additional Settings
    1. Video Settings
    Video Frame Rate
    Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continuos motions.
    When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
    Brightness Level
    Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
    2. Audio Options
    Audio Quality
    There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps Stereo.
    Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
    Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio
    bitrate, the better audio quality.
    Audio Volume
    You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
    Stereo to Mono
    When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
    3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
    It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the program's menu.
    Windows XP
      Windows 2000  
      Windows ME

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

  • I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac.  I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

    I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.  This is for a Christmas present!  Help.

    I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
    I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

  • Convert mp4 format to mp3,wmv,etc in nokia mobile

    Hey, i'm using a nokia 7230 mobile handset, which doesn't support mp4 vedios which i download from the internet. I hate connecting my phone to the computer just to convert the vedios and back.. So is there an app i can download to convert mp4 vedios in the handset, so i can stream it....

    Yes, go to Preferences in iTunes, set the Import setting under the General tab to use MP3. Then select the tracks you want to convert, now you should see a choice in the File menu called 'Create New Version' with a sub-choice of MP3.
